· Interview Paper Grading Rubric and Prompt  - Word Document  (18.3 KB)

INTERVIEW PAPER (100 points)

 The Interview Paper is designed to assist you in thinking about exercise beyond as a means to an end for athletes. As athletes or active people, it is sometimes difficult to imagine why the general population does not exercise. As such, interviewing two non-athletes about exercise will help you to see different perspectives on exercise. You are required to interview individuals from two different racial/cultural/ethnic backgrounds in order to analyze the differences in cultural attitudes and challenges toward exercise participation and adherence.

 Instructions:

· Find two college aged-students or working adults who are similar in age and of the same gender identification.  Neither should be friends, family, roommates, or other familiar others. Also, interviewees cannot be student-athletes or other individuals who are  required to exercise. One individual should be regularly active (at least 4 times per week) and the second individual should be considered sedentary (little to no regular physical activity). These participants must represent two different cultural/racial/ethnic backgrounds.

· Conduct an interview with each individual (separately), asking about their health, history with exercise, and stance on exercise. A detailed interview guide is available at the end of this Course Outline.

· Write a 2-3 page paper ( not including title page and references; in APA 7th edition format) on your findings and their relationship to course material. The paper  should not be a verbatim transcript of the interview. Rather, it should reflect the information you gathered and provide a  synthesis of the differences between the two people you interviewed,  integrating course material throughout, where appropriate.

Even though this is a short paper (2-3 pages minimum), make sure that you adhere to APA 7th edition style and formatting. Also, where integrating course material, you should cite your textbook or other references appropriately.

· Behavior Change Paper Grading Rubric and Prompt  - Word Document  (19.1 KB)

BEHAVIOR CHANGE PAPER (200 points)

In order to apply knowledge gained in this course to personal experience and assist in future personal and professional development, you are expected to monitor and attempt a health behavior change in this class throughout the four weeks. It is recommended that you track your behavior for the first week and then choose a specific behavior to change.

Identifying a behavior: Identify a behavior change to be attempted for at least three weeks. Behavior change options include, but are not limited to: starting or significantly changing an exercise program, drastically reducing caffeine intake (if you consume caffeine daily), quitting or reducing tobacco use, adhering to a specific diet plan or meeting specific caloric intake goals, etc. Whichever option you choose, it  must be approved by the instructor prior to initiating the behavior change program. You will also identify at least one outcome goal and at least three process goals you will use to achieve the behavior change.  Identification of your behavior and goal identification was done via a Week 1 Discussion Board thread.

Behavior Change Paper (4-8 pages): The final behavior change paper is an  integration of personal experience and knowledge gained from this course. It should include personal successes  and  struggles throughout the behavior change process, a discussion of  at least  one  theory  of behavior change relevant to your personal experience, discussion of other  relevant course content  as applicable to your personal experience (e.g., personality characteristics, social influence/support, motivation, perceived benefits, etc.), and future intentions to improve or maintain behavior change and anticipated modifications to the behavior change program.

Directions

· Briefly describe your overall experience. Address your attitude, motivation, and specific goals at the onset of the program. As an introduction, this section should include why the behavior was chosen for change, and your state of mind as you began this journey. The introduction should be approximately 1 page in length.

· Discuss  at least one theoretical model of behavior change and its relevance to your behavior change program. Be specific about how this model can be applied to your specific situation (i.e., discuss specific examples that illustrate how the model can be applied to your behavior change journey). Although, highlight persistent barriers and your success/failure at handling them. If you were successful, what contributed to your success (e.g., coping skills)? If you relapsed, what contributed to that? What could you do differently to overcome the barrier(s) in the future? Theory/Course Content integration should be 2-5 pages in length.

· Finally, explain your journey; how did it go? Evaluate your success/failure and contributing factors to your success/failure. Also, discuss your intentions for (dis)continued attempts/maintenance of your behavior change. Where do you see yourself 3 months from now? 6 months? A year? Include modifications you would/intend to make to your goals or strategies to make the change permanent. Summary and future plans should be 1-2 pages in length.

Papers should follow APA 7th edition style and formatting, and should be 4-8 pages in length ( not including title page and references), at minimum. You should have  at least one reference (your textbook) but I would encourage you to include more.
